The Old Blacksmith's House Of Blautopf Paper Model In 1/160 Scaleby Ausschneide Bogen

More one beautiful paper model offered by Ausschneide Bogen website, from Germany: this very detailed paper model in 1/160 scale (N scale) of the Old Blacksmith's House Of Blautopf is perfect for Dioramas, RPG and Wargames.The Old Blacksmith's House of Blautopf was built in 1804 by blacksmith and shipbuilder Abraham Friedrich and operated until 1889. It was then converted into a mechanical workshop, which operated until 1956. In the 1960s, it was transformed into a museum for sightseeing and demonstrations. The water that moves the mills comes from the Blue Fountain, which supplies up to 2000 liters of water per second. Water can be diverted through a dam system to operate the mill wheel through a small channel. The adjoining farm building houses a kiosk with outdoor fair and small shops. - Many thanks to my friend Jo Kinzinger for this great find!
